“Macfarlanes LLP is the smallest firm in the upper echelons of this [premium M&A] table but ‘stands up to the Magic Circle’ and ‘deserves its place among the very best’. It completes a smaller volume and value of deals than its larger rivals, but also wins some of the most sought-after transactions.”
